Tiger II: Better Than Original?
Posted on 18 May 2013 by Steven Keys.
Playing with a cool confidence that brought him victory in last week’s TPC, Tiger Woods appears poised to regain his top form, likely to surpass Sam Snead in PGA career wins (78 / 82) and must surely be growling to get his paws on another majors-trophy (14), moving him one step closer to Jack Nicklaus' iconic mark of 18. Tiger’s “burning bright (Blake)” and on the comeback trail. ...

Rose Defies Critics Sitting Tall
Posted on 10 May 2013 by Steven Keys.
“To (play) or not to (play), that is the (thorny) question” swirling around Derrick Rose and every NBA roundtable on the North American continent. The beef: Is the 2010-11 MVP still recuperating and wisely sitting out these playoffs or clutching to tight to fear of re-injuring his reconstructed and all important knee? Some trust Derrick in this dust-up. Rose is the patient. It’s his knee....

Tebow: NFL’s Nowhere Man
Posted on 6 May 2013 by Steven Keys.
I hope Tim Tebow finds a landing spot in the NFL, somewhere, anywhere, setting-up under center or testing out tight end, wearing Jacksonville teal or Green Bay green, it doesn’t matter. Tim should be in the show. Some folks look forward to the day when Tebow disappears altogether from the game. Love the man or hate him (most find TT a curiosity), Tim moves the meter. He hasn’t been moving t...

Owners Hand Steers NFL Draft
Posted on 25 Apr 2013 by Steven Keys.
Owners rule. If you think GMs call the shots on NFL Draft night (4-25 / 8P / NFLN) you might want to crawl outside your bubble for a spell and take a quick gander at the real world. The General Manager is a wheel, a big-shot in the realm of football. He’s the owner’s right-hand man, to be sure. They know the numbers, mold the team and steer the ship. But it’s the owners who captain the ve...

LeBron at the Crossroads
Posted on 17 Apr 2013 by Steven Keys.
“From a jack tooooo a kiiiiing.” That’s LeBron Raymone James. Country crooner Ned Miller could’ve been foretelling the odyssey of Miami’s majestic one with the title of his ‘62 crossover hit. From highly-touted high school phenom (Akron), to celebrated draftee (#1 ‘03), erstwhile underachiever (’07), scorned defector (MIA) and MVP totting NBA champ (’12), Le. James has finally...

Tony Romo, Cowboys “It” Man?
Posted on 6 Apr 2013 by Steven Keys.
Vince Lombardi is famous for saying “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” Point in fact, it wasn’t one of his proudest moments. For starters, the legendary Packers’ coach borrowed the line from adorable & talented child actress Sherry Jackson. She uttered the famous words sitting next to the lovely Donna Reed in the John Wayne movie “Trouble Along the Way (‘53): ...

MLB Family Feud ’13
Posted on 29 Mar 2013 by Steven Keys.
Wherever people cluster there are bound to be skirmishes. At the dinner table, school, the workplace, your barber shop, …any place people come together. It’s human nature: different brain-matter, different opinions and then the verbal wrangling ensues. Sometimes the tension runs like an undercurrent, out of public view. The conflicts that spring up can be as measured as a bow-shot at sea or...

Friendship Fleeting in NFL Flux
Posted on 13 Mar 2013 by Steven Keys.
Losing your best friend has always been tough, whether you’re eight or ninety-eight. They write songs about it and plenty of ’em: See; “Popcrush.com.” I’m not embarrassed to say I knew not one of PC’s top-ten “best friend” songs until the last one on the list (#1): The Jackson 5, “I’ll Be There” (’71). Funny thing is, that’s ‘bout time I lost a best friend. I must’...

Best Story: Blackhawks or Heat?
Posted on 7 Mar 2013 by Steven Keys.
This was gonna’ be a piece all about the amazing Chicago Blackhawks’ and their stupendous start to abbreviated NHL ‘12-13, but then hoopsters Miami decided to turn-up the Heat on the rest of the NBA and remind everyone who’s boss. Tough call. Every time I get the scores on these two clubs I’m muttering to myself words like “Really,” “Wow” or “Is that right?” It’s real an...

Mr. Smith Goes to Palookaville
Posted on 1 Mar 2013 by Steven Keys.
“Babe Ruth is the biggest runner-up in history.” That’s what the man said, Babe Ruth, a runner-up. Words from the mouth of sport opinionator Stephen A. Smith last Monday co-hosting with Skip Bayless on ESPN’s hip-hoppin’ morning show “First Take.” I don’t take-in “First Take” but rarely these days, having been a regular until producers decided the popular show needed fixing ...

Dousing the Olympic $pirit
Posted on 25 Feb 2013 by Steven Keys.
Wrestlers and frogs. Don’t laugh, they’ve got more in common than you’d think. And don’t worry, this isn’t a piece about an Ohio sports legend and his strange, dangerous liaisons with small, snapping, water-born critters. Both grapplers and croakers are known as what zoologists term, indicator species: n., “A species whose presence, absence or relative well-being in a given environm...

Caddyshack & 199 Better Films
Posted on 24 Feb 2013 by Steven Keys.
On that diamond of dreams we call cinema, the subject of sport is usually a spot player. Though a capable hitter with a reliable glove, even when it manages to make the cinematic line-up card the sport theme rarely hit’s a home run. That’s not to say there aren’t some fine flicks that employed the sport-vehicle to tickle our funny bone (Tin Cup), tug at our heart strings (The Natural), ex...
